    I am somewhat biased because i absolutely love the input options on my steam deck and would love to replicate this to both my PC and the Steam Frame (where i am also on the waitlist). I was already a user of the old Steam Controller (and had 3 steam links in total, because they were the cheapest and most reliable streaming options from a pc back then outside of Nvidias overpriced solution, and my ex-wife made sure we had spares - 2 of them are still up and running) and loved the flexibility it offered - so many things Valve offers are essential to freeing gamers from their desks, making gaming in more relaxed situations a lot more viable.

      I understand, I never really got used to the touch pads of the steam deck. I find them very finicky even though the haptic feedback is great.

        They are awesome when used in combination with the gyro for precise aiming! Aim in general with the pad (maybe assign something like double tapping it for a 180° turn in appropiate games) and the gyro for small, accurate movements, and the accuracy is close to using a mouse after a short while. Steam Input in general is absolutely great - there’s not much you can NOT do.
